Sean Strickland recently lost his middleweight title to Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297. But, he put on a commendable fight and only lost by a close split decision. Now, just after a few days, Strickland hinted at a change of careers. He expressed his interest in pursuing a political career after finishing with MMA. As such, he envisioned a situation where he would sit across Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, popularly known as AOC.

In his recent tweet, Sean Strickland affirmed he would run for public office once he was done fighting and earned a large amount of money. However, he didn’t see a situation in which he would win. But he wanted to do it to do something he cared about. Here is what he said:

After I'm done fighting in a few years and I'm sitting on a big pile of money I probably will run for some public office position... ill never win but I'd rather do something I care about instead of starting a CBD company lmao

Further, in a following tweet, Sean Strickland visualized a situation of sitting across Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. As such, he hilariously explained being involved in a debate over children being able to castrate themselves. Previously, on numerous occasions, Strickland has opposed the views of the Democrats and openly critiqued their point of view. So, his troll of AOC wasn’t surprising. Here is what he said:

Could you picture me sitting across from AOC as she's telling everyone why children should be able to castrate themselves?! Come on you guys... You know one day you will need that in your life.
